Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kiryu Kazuma (ranked 42 p4p, 108 weight class) and Shen Po (ranked 7 p4p, 14 weight class). Po has chosen Ei-tetsu Hayashi & 木下伸市 as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
